Your company's HR tools do not talk to each other

Your ATS, LMS, 360, and performance data live in silos. So you end up deciding who to promote or keep without the full picture.

71%

of HR leaders decide about their people on instinct, not with the data they already have.

What people ask us most

Escal8 is an AI People Analytics platform. It assesses your team across 8 complementary dimensions (8MAP) so you know who to hire, how to develop your people, and what to automate, with data, not gut feeling.

The 8MAP is Escal8's AI assessment that measures each employee from 8 angles and cross-references them to reveal what no single metric can see. The 8 dimensions are:

  • Skills: Can your people do what the role requires?
  • Performance: Do they deliver results?
  • Growth: Who can grow?
  • Digital Fluency: Are they ready for digital?
  • Automation: Where are you paying for machine work?
  • Capacity: Overloaded or idle?
  • Culture: Connected or with one foot out?
  • Risk: Who are you about to lose?

None of those. Escal8 is a talent intelligence layer: it doesn't run payroll (HRIS), it isn't just courses (LMS) nor an annual snapshot (climate survey). It diagnoses and predicts so you can decide, and it sits on top of what you already use.

Escal8 is an AI People Analytics platform focused on LATAM: it assesses talent across 8 dimensions, works over WhatsApp or the platform with 90%+ adoption, and delivers first results in 4 weeks.

Kova is Escal8's AI: an octopus with 8 arms, one per dimension. It interviews each person in conversation, merges the 8 readings into a single map, flags what matters (attrition risk, high potential, automation opportunities), and recommends actions. It works on WhatsApp and on the platform.

No. Assessments happen where your team already is: WhatsApp or the web platform. No new apps or passwords. That's how we reach 90%+ adoption.

It adds to it. Escal8 is the intelligence layer that sits on top of what you already have and turns it into actionable insights. We don't ask you to ditch your HRIS. We give it the brain it's missing.

From signature to first insight in 4 weeks, not months.
